lsp-format.nvim VS neovim

suffice it to say, I haven't needed to mess with it in a very long time, and it works very nicely and smoothly. I based it on https://github.com/lukas-reineke/lsp-format.nvim back before he extracted that plugin from his dotfiles, but over time I added a lot.

Ok guys I solved it by using this wonderful plugin https://github.com/lukas-reineke/lsp-format.nvim . Apparently it had something to do with setting up my autosave from null-ls but can't be sure. Anyways, solved.

My first reaction is to set a buffer-exclusive autocmd on lsp attach to call vim.lsp.buf.format(), that should work if you don't want depdenencies. Another way to go is https://github.com/lukas-reineke/lsp-format.nvim, it's a thin wrapper around nvim's format and can provide format on save.

Use lsp-format.nvim and put null-ls on the blacklist.

If you already use metals as a language server, it looks like scalafmt support is already built in. If you're using metals in Neovim but not getting formatting, check your lsp configuration. Alternatively, use lsp-format.nvim to ensure formatting happens. That goes for using it with null-ls, too.

Thanks! One additional question, I'm using lsp-format. And to use it, I just

My plugin lukas-reineke/lsp-format.nvim does that. It wraps around the built-in LSP formatting with a couple opinionated improvements.

You can take a look at my plugin LSP-format.nvim for a bit more robust solution to async format on save. But it will also write the file twice. There is currently no other way to do this.

I recommend instead using lsp-format.nvim to manage multiple LSP clients trying to format.

As a software engineer, choosing and understanding your text editor is important part of your work, as it impacts your productivity and workflow efficiency. It's like choosing the perfect tool for any trade - you need to know what tool to use and how to use it effectively if you want to excel. For me, I use Neovim as my editor and I have been using it for a little over a year now.

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Neovim: Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. You can check the official website for installation instructions: https://neovim.io/ Git: We'll be using Git to clone the LazyVim starter pack. If you don't have Git, you can download it from https://git-scm.com/downloads

There are several ways to install Neovim. This wiki provides several guidelines on how to install Neovim.

All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and have a text editor configured to be the most optimal for the way I want to use it.
